Since this pandemic from Corvid 19 began, the infamous Sars Cov 2 which still does a lot of damage with its delta variant, we have analyzed a little bit all the aspects connected directly or not with the virus and its propagation. We have often talked about pulse oximeters, proposing several in-depth articles and offers dedicated to pulse oximeters - yes, they can also be called that - pressing a lot on the fact that they are very useful tools in the prevention of Corvid being able, through the values shown, to report any abnormalities in progress at the respiratory level.
Yet not for everyone, from what we learn these days.

In fact, it seems that this device, precisely the oximeter, which operates through the emission of light beams that go beyond the skin to read the blood values, presents problems with people of color.

He was reported by the British Health Service, National Health Service (NHS), and the " Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency " (MHRA).

Ranjit Senghera Marwaha, a patient of Indian origin hospitalized with Covid and severe respiratory problems, said he always received normal data from his pulse oximeter.

The cases, of course, are in the hundreds and the experts are quite convinced that the greater propagation of severe forms of the disease in subjects of Asian, African or otherwise dark skin pigmentation may also partly depend on detection errors. of the appliance.

In-depth studies are underway, of course, but a lot could also depend on the use of unreliable devices, chinoiserie or similar forms of medical equipment or instruments that find it difficult to read precisely in the presence of dark complexions.

Health is not a joke, it is therefore important to spend a few dollars more, rather than taking unnecessary risks to health and life itself.
